What are you drinking tonight 2022?

[Hazelwood Brewery]

I don’t have a lot available at the mo so this is one of the unfortunately large 500ml bottles of the Everything imperial stout. View attachment 62186
This Apple kitchen disco playlist is brilliant ❤ Star Wars pop version by the Cantina band followed by I’ve had the time of my life from Dirty dancing. Better close the door in case any of the children find me bopping around the kitchen!

A couple of those and they’ll find you having a lie-down in the kitchen!

English Bitter but the keg just kicked. I’ve been drinking two kegs of bitter at the same time so I do still have a few pints in the other keg.

How's that beer aging Anna. It's on my list when I get around to it.

It gets better every bottle - really - flavours better blended and bizarrely sweeter - the maple syrup comes through with lots of oak - both of which were quiet in the first brewed taste.

My kind of bitter, used hop head ale yeast M66 If I remember correctly kegged / bottled October conditioned nicely

My brother got me this beer over Christmas. Now seemed like a good time to drink it whilst brewing a Belgian pale
Very nice refreshing beer... doesn't feel like 9%

Went for a Sunday walk, and obviously wasn't concentrating as I walked into this large house like building called a 'pub'. It seemed rude not to have a drink, so a had a few pints of Landlord.

Is it a saison

 

[Alastair70]

I’ve decided a Belgian evening is long overdue. First up a Chimay Brown. One of the prettiest beers I’ve poured for a while. Smells like a crumble topping that’s had 2 minutes too many in a hot oven. Toasty dark malts, yeasty phenols holding sway over a fairly strong fruity ester presence. I’m having to try really hard to not just chug it down. It’s a big malty hug in a glass.

Is it a saison

It's a wild fermentation mix of beer and fruit..it's got barley..fruits on the label and mentions wild fermentation.. like a tart beer/dry cider hybrid..

Summer Breeze but not a full pint because the keg just kicked! C’mon ref!

Is it a saison

The 'standard' version of Ninkasi is a saison so I'd assume this one has similar roots. Both are worth checking out.

A London Pride-ish bitter accompanied by some light reading. Delighted with how this one turned out.

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

I’ve not had my fill of hoppy ales yet.

Triple time. Not the best I’ve had (out of 3, and one of those was by @samale!)

Starting with a Gumballhead tonight. Nice easy drinking pint. A touch of grapefruit, but I guess Amarillo is less full-on citrus than Citra or others? This is second batch of this I've made, and the last time, I recall it developed into a more interesting and complex beer in due time; I'll have to see whether I feel the same about this batch.

I love San Diego Super. My current culture is on its 3rd generation and will tucking in to either a Two Hearted or Pliny clone next. Both of those are going to need a 2-step starter.
Haven’t decided which one to brew first, but Pliny has the edge at the minute.

 

[marshbrewer]

Love this stuff. Would like to try and brew something similar.

 

[moto748]

Now for a trusty pint of parsnip!
